When Gu Yuwei heard the people from the "cowsheds" were being brought back, she immediately wondered if her parents would be returning too. At the thought, her heart began to race, and she felt a desperate urge to find out what was happening with her family.
He Ze wasn't home at the moment, leaving just her and their daughter. Last year, Gu Yuwei had given birth to a little girl named He Ziyu, who was not yet a year old.
Gu Yuwei looked at her daughter, who was sleeping soundly on the kang. 'She probably won't wake up for a while,' she thought. So she locked the door and went into town to make a phone call.
Mrs. He was working in the fields when she saw another village woman hurrying over and shouting, "Mrs. He! You have to go see! I just passed by your second son's house, and the main door is locked, but I can hear a baby wailing inside! It sounds like it's been going on for a while. Who knows where the parents are?"
